Lu Yanci then took a step and walked towards her.
Hearing footsteps, Qin Yue turned around abruptly. When she saw it was him, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she spoke in a gentle tone, without the sharp edge she had shown earlier.
Are you done with your work?
He hummed in agreement, walked up to her, and asked, "What's wrong? Whose call was that?"
Qin Yue didn't hide anything: "Qin Xu's assistant said that Qin Xu has had a high fever for the past two days, and he refuses to take medicine or go to the hospital. He had no other choice but to contact me, hoping that I could persuade him."
The fact that the assistant was able to contact her must have been Qin Xu's doing.
He's incorrigible.
She's just playing the victim to gain sympathy.
Whether he truly had a persistent high fever or was exaggerating, it was none of her business.
Lu Yanci knew that her younger brother was rather thoughtful, but the siblings seemed to have always had a good relationship. Qin Yue treated him very well, and he was quite surprised that she could still say such things so rationally when Qin Xu was sick.
He asked casually, "Did you and your brother have a fight?"
Qin Yue carefully considered her words: "It should be that they severed their sibling relationship."
Lu Yanci was stunned.
He clearly hadn't expected it to turn out this way.
How could that be?
Qin Yue briefly explained the reason.
She told Lu Yanci the things she had said to Qin's father and mother.
“He didn’t want to be my brother. He schemed and plotted against me many times, and he didn’t trust me. I felt that it would be better if I didn’t have a brother. In short, we broke off our relationship.”
The assistant on the other end of the phone hung up shakily and turned to look at Qin Xu, whose face was deathly pale.
Although it wasn't a high fever, it's a fact that Qin Xu had a fever for two days.
He's had trouble filming these past two days. He took a fever reducer this morning, but his fever hasn't gone down yet.
Seeing that he looked really bad, the director told him to take a day off. As soon as he got into the RV, Qin Xu told him to contact Qin Yue.
Unfortunately, the other party was too hard-hearted, and no matter what he said, it was no use.
Qin Xu clenched his fists, his eyes swirling with anger. So many days had passed, and she still hadn't calmed down?
He really knows he was wrong this time.
He couldn't believe she was really so heartless as to not forgive him even after hearing that he was sick.
"Keep calling, and tell them that I've been vomiting everything I eat these past two days, and that my condition is very bad."
The assistant hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Qin Xu immediately said with a cold face, "Can't you understand what I'm saying?"
The assistant had no choice but to do as instructed.
After a moment, she looked at him with a troubled expression: "Brother Xu, she has blocked me."
Qin Xu was shocked. Did she really not want to see him?
Give me your phone.
"oh."
Qin Xu typed a number into his phone: "Call this number and say I'm seriously ill. Say that I said my sister won't forgive me, so I won't take medicine or see a doctor."
His parents were very soft-hearted, and he didn't believe that they wouldn't try to persuade his sister after he said that.
However, this time, he miscalculated again.
At first, the Qin family elders thought that the two had just had some friction. Later, they tacitly agreed that Qin Yue had broken off her relationship with him because Qin Xuyi had repeatedly schemed against Qin Yue.
What does this even mean...?
What's the difference between this and scheming?
He's sick and refuses to take his medicine. If something happens, it seems like Qin Yue will be the one at fault in the end. If his fans find out, they'll probably scold their daughter again.
Ultimately, he just wanted to exploit their love for him to achieve his own goals once again.
Qin's mother sighed and said, "How is Xiaoxu now? Give him the phone, I'll talk to him."
Qin Xu thought there was hope, so he quickly asked his assistant to hand him the phone. He weakly called out, "Mom."
Qin's mother responded, "Xiao Xu, your body is your own. No matter how you torment yourself, you'll only suffer in the end. Yueyue won't see it anyway, so why bother? How is what you're doing any different from what you did before?"
"Mom, I just..."
Qin's father interrupted him: "Take good care of yourself. Yueyue doesn't need to be responsible for your health. You're putting moral shackles on her. Do you want to ask for forgiveness or just make yourself feel better? You should know better than me. That's all. If you need anything in the future, contact us. Don't bother Yueyue."
Qin Xu stared blankly at the disconnected phone, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
The assistant thought to himself, "He's right. We're so far away, we can't see or touch him. What's the point of this self-inflicted injury ploy?"
Now look what's happened. Forget about so-called forgiveness; it's just pushed people even further away.
...
After finishing his work, Lu Yanci took Qin Yue and left work early.
He drove her to a Western restaurant some distance from the company for dinner.
Qin Yue told him about her trip to Nancheng.
"On business trip?"
Hearing that she was going to Nancheng for a few days, Lu Yanci frowned.
He wondered if he could finish his work and free up a few days to spend with her.
"I guess you could call it a business trip. I'll also be visiting my grandma and grandpa's family while I'm there," Qin Yue said, a thoughtful look flashing across her eyes.
Her main purpose in going to Nancheng was not to discuss business; it was just that some things had not yet happened, and she was not in a position to explain them to him in detail.
When are you going?
"After Sunday, I'll probably stay in the southern part of the city for three or four days."
That's the day after tomorrow.
"I'll finish my work in the next couple of days, and then we can go together?" he said, revealing his thoughts.
Qin Yue chuckled: "It's nothing serious. I'll be back in a few days. There's no need for you to take the time to come with me. I might have to go on business trips a lot in the future. I can't ask you to come with me every time. Someone from the company will accompany me then."
Lu Yanci thought to himself, so what if he had to accompany her every time? He couldn't spend three or four days with her, but one day was certainly possible. Money could never be earned enough, and spending time with her was more meaningful to him than closing a major deal.
Seeing her resolute attitude, I didn't continue the topic and was already considering when would be the best time to go over.
"Are you busy tomorrow?" he asked.
Qin Yue shook her head and said slowly, "I've set aside tomorrow for our date. If you have something to do, you can go ahead and do your thing."
However, things went wrong during the date.
The two had arranged to have hot pot that evening.
Lu Yanci suggested that they go to the supermarket together to buy ingredients and cook at home.
Just after the two finished paying the bill, Qin Yue received a call from Tong Yexin.
Lu Yanci carried the groceries in one hand and led her to the parking area.
Qin Yue answered the video call.
After seeing what the people in the camera were doing, she stopped in her tracks and her tone became serious.
"Tong Yexin, get down from the balcony right now."
Tong Yexin's eyes were red at the corners, clearly she had been crying.
The phone camera panned around to show the view downstairs.
She slowly turned the phone camera around.
I looked at my own face and found a nice angle.
Tong Yexin lifted her eyelids and said lazily:
"Tsk, why so serious? I sent you the address, come over for a drink."
